President Garfield's Father Was Sent Over + 4, the Styx by a Quack. “Special Dispatch to The Chicazo Tribune, CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 15.—Little by little the true story of the treatment and autopsy of the late President Garfield by his phy- Sicians is coming to the surface, and while there has been a temporary cessation of .hos- tilities there is no doubt but it will all break out again with renewed vigor at no distant date. One of the greatest things that the treat- ment of the case has. accomplished for the World is to show that there is almost abso- Jutely nothing in so-called medical. skill and science. The experience of the mar- tyred President on this score, known and read and commented on as it has been by all amen, will have a tendency to set people to thinking. How many are the sighs of regret that have been drawn over the history of the death of President Garfield’s father. He hhad-come into the forests of this Western Reserve; had cleared a little patch of ground, had builded a pioncer log house and sowed his first field of wheat. When this wheat was rivening for the harvest a_forest fire threatened it and the cab- in which sheltered his wife and babies. He ought the fire with the strength of a hero, and conquered it. But the hot June weather, -exaggérated by the fierce flames, heated his Hblood to a remarkable degree. He: seated himself in the breeze and contracted a severe scold which settled in his threat. THE IGNORANCE OF A PIONEER QUACK induced him to blister the neck and the patient was choked to death. Bidding fare well to his devoted wite and little children, the strong man died. According to the best information at hand, the treatment of this case would not seem to differ very materially, so far as the actual knowledge of what was being done is con- cerned, from that of the pioneer’s illustrious son, a half century later, when he was stricken down by the bullet of the assasin in the Capital of the Nation. To be sure the physician in the first instance was a pioneer quack, and in the second the patient was surrounded by all the. brilfiant medical lights of the latter half of the nineteenth century, and every appliance that modern science, so-called, could contrive was called into requisition. TOA MAN OUTSIDE OF THE PnorEssIon— toavery plain, common, lay individual—the difference in the two cases, however, does notseemto be very great. The responsi- bitity in the latter case’ was much -greater. ‘The effort made was doubtless very great, but the result was the same in both—death of the patient, and the further into the amatter the public gets the more it ~wou!d ap- pearthat the actual knowledge of the loca- tion of the trouble and what was best to done was about the same in the two cases. It is to be hoped that some time the facts in the recent case, ‘STRWPED OF ALL VERBIAGE AND TECHSI- CAL TERMS, President Garfiela may be made known. was the Nation's patient, as he had been the Nation’s vresident, and the entire Nation has night to know what there is to be known about the way he was treated, and how much real science was brought to his reliet. In the case of the death of a private individ- ‘ual, all that is necessary for the physician in charge to do is tomystify the case with a few Latin adjectives and medical terms, and sat- isfy the relatives of the profundity’ of his dearning, and there the matter drops. But here it is differeut. From the beginning it hhas been evident that there has been a grop- ingin the dark—a. failure to comprehend what should bedone and what was the nat- ‘ure of the injury. This was seen especially on the part of Dr. Bliss in the contradictory statements which he constantly permitted 10 #0 forth under his sanction. Dr. Boynton, a near blood relative of the President, who, although one of the very best physicians in the United States, was willing to take the humble position of nurse of his beloved cousin, was constantly snubbed. and maligned by the physician in. charge, aud every effort was made that could anade to drive him away from the bedside DR: BOYNTON, however, remained, and, although his sug- festiousand counsels were almost never heed- edand generally sneered ai, the terriblesequel hhas shown that he was about the only ph cian who had anything to do with the case who Jmew whereof he spoke. When the proper ume shail come Dr. Boynton will doubtless anake public a statement of the case from the beginning, and bring out all the facts. He is waiting meanwhile for the stateinent of the Surgeon-General of the Anny, which it is expected will review the whole matter with considerable deta it was only to be ‘pected under the cit cumstances, and remembering the spirit jnanifested all through, that Dr. Bliss would ‘De the jirst to hastily rush into print witha statement. of the case, parading at every possibie point the statement it he was “the surgeon in charge.” In the present articie- 1 HAVE A FEW PLAIN FACTS To STATE, and, in order that they may appear a Jittle more definitand clear, L will put them in catagorical order. 1. = The physician in charge” of the Presi- dent's case failed utterly to comprehend it trom the beginning... The proof of this is the following: A 4 7 (a.) He denied, time and again, pyzemia or plvod-poisoning, while the outcome of the case showed that that condition existed from avery early stage, : «b.) He asserted over aud over again that the President was “doing well,” “doing nicely,” ete., and that he was on the: way to convalescence, and this only a short time before his death, when it was evident even to pnsclentiie eyes that dissolution was near at hand. {c.) His theory of the swelling of the paro- tid ‘gland was’ all wrong, according to his own subsequent statemen= This swelling ‘was the result of blood-poisoning, while he accounted for it otherwise. Jie claimed there was little or no ot e (a. culty with the President’s lungs, while autopsy and statements of other vitysicians showed Jong before that this was one of. the serious complications of the case. (c.) He utterly failed to comprehend the condition of the President’s stomach, and feedin& him vinegar and raw onions followed with milk brought on one of the severe re- Japses in the case. 5 (7-) Even after this he failed “to under- Stand the patient’s stomach, and, accordiuz to best information, permitted a diet of food that became rancid’ on the stomach, produc- ing serious complications of the disease. = * The physician ir. charge” had no con- ception of the course of the fatal bullet. I 2m told on authority that cannot be disputed that even after death, and when the autopsy Was going forward, so little idea had been Formed of u able position of the fatal uuosile that it was actually removed with the bowels and entirely overlooked; that cutting Went forward to ascertain its ‘position. and that it was only after the search had been Pronounced almost hopeless, and the bowels had been removed from the bow! where they had been placed. that the bullet was dound lying loose in the bottom of the bowl where the bowels had . _ This being the case, the question arises, and can be asked with decided’ pertinency, whether physician in charge’? who has recently talked” with ‘so much. fluency and in such Jearned terms of the” course of the bullet actually knows anything about it even now, : , Lhe same person asks in his recent article in the Medical Journal, among others, the following question: ‘At. the consultation, July 4, and after it was proved to be impossi ble to follow the track of the ball any cou- siderable distance beyond the fractured rib, wonld an operation have been justifiable, necessitating an incision through the soft parts and a removat of a portion of the rib, sous to develop the track?” The Nation would naturally answer this question in the negative, considering how small a concep- tion was formed of where the ball was lodged. . De then asks TWO OTHER QUESTIONS in the same line, as follows: In the light of modern military surgery, which teaches the readiness with which leaden bulls become eneysted, would an operation at any time for removal of the missile baye been justified unless there was some evidence of the missile being a source of irritation? idering carefully the condition of the lent during the wiitire period of his illness, and the facts revealed by the autopsy, would not any operation for the purposes before men- toned have placed the President's life in great jeopardy, and, ut best, bave hastened the time of his death, without affording any signal relief? There is an ‘attempt made to justify the treatment of the case, NOTWITHSTANDING TI CONSTANT BLUN- G indulged in from-beginning to end, the following questions: Was the treatment of the case as presented proper, and did it or not prolong his life to the utmost lint? Was tiv mistaken diagnosis a natural result of the cdnditions present, and to have developed a correct diagnosis would not operative pro- cedures have ensued ? i we had known the exact course and locality” of the hall, and the organs injured in its pas- | gage, Shuuid the treatinent Lave been modified in any particular? ‘The pioneer quack who murdered the ex- President’s father by applying the blister to his irritated throat, “had he ‘been taken to task by wn outraged public, would doubtless have explained very learnedly the proz- nosis and diaxnosis of the case, and wound all up. with a list of questions very similar to these, “We can easily imagine him saying: First—Was not the treatment of the cuse as J bave presented it proper? Did 1 not do the right, thiug in applying the blister to the pa- tient’s neck, notwithstanding the sequel showed that I knew nothing either of the disease or the treatment that should have been applied? 2 Was not the mistaken dixznosis a natural result of the conditiuus present, and to have de- veloped a correct ditgnosis.would it not nave een necessary to have cut the patient's throut and have exposed the affected spot? I could not see just how it was, an? rather than cut tho patient's throat 1 decided to pluce a blister on the outside, the well-known elfect of which is to bring whatever is inside out. 3. 1f Laud known exactly what aited my pa- vient, and the organs affected, should tho treat- ment bave been modified in any particular? Should vot the blister with its kill-or-cure qual- ities have been applied and Jet the patient take his own chances tor life or death? ‘ACT OF THE MATTER 1S nanagement of the two cases. to an outsider unbiased by medical skill or sur- gical knowledge appears to be almost identi- cal, and the truth of the old saying that there “nothing new under the sun” is demon- strated over again. Itwill- be be very hard to make plain people believe there ‘is not some “nigger in the woodpile” somewhere. Of course those who are the most outspoken in their criticism of the treatment. of the President's ease are of the homeopathic school of medicine. In conversation with one of the most prominent of these today the following statements were elicited: “Do you think, Doctor, that with the proper treatment the President’s life could aye been saved 2” “1 haven't the Jeast doubt of it.” “What course should have been pursued: in your judgment 2” Z “That question involves rather a long answer. Jt will be necessary for me to £0 into the details of the matter quite fully. In the first place, [ cannot see how so complete a wrong diagnosis ‘of the case was made. ‘The matter was fully discussed here in our meetings, and we-decided that the ball was JUST WHERE JT WAS FINALLY DISCOVER: ‘ion was arrived at in the fol- : We reasoned that if the abdome y had been penetrated by the ball the patient could not have lived more than seven days. When that period was p: i was us ciear as could be that this done, The fact that the patient experienced pricking sensations in his feet and lower limbs was a clear indication that the ball had Bone very near the spine, The spine could not have been penetrated, because that would have caused almost instant death. How the conclusion was arrived at, that the ball had lodged in the frout part.of the body is more than can be understood, considermg the statements that were made in re- gard to the relative position — of the President and his assasin, and the way he turned A just as the firing took place. 1 e least doubt but that have not IF THE RESIDENT HAD BEEN A COMMON SOLDIER, taken from the field of battle, he would have been saved. The surgeon would in such case, after a careful study of the case, have coneluded that the ball was lodged in the ba He would then have made incision, which could not have faii ¢rossed the pathof the bullet. Discovering its location in this way the pieces of verte bre would have been removed, the wound refully washed and cared for, and the pa- tient put on a tair way to recovery.” “How do you account for the fact that Drs. Agnew and Hamilton did not discover the. course of the ball and offer more practical suggestions in the case than it now seems ‘that they did 2" “In this way: Dr. Bliss was the surgeon in charge of the case. He had made all the examinations that were made, and) when the doctors in couneil came in he explained matters very glibly to them, and pointed by the aid things out of diagrams, ete, and in omy _ estimatio: was so very forward “and ‘positive in everything that the counsel took: too much for granted, and actually failed to make the proper examinations for themselves. 1 can ody excuse themin this way, for they are both gentlemen of. very high reputation in their fine of. practice. am told by those who should know that Dr. Bliss is better calculated for a General than fora surgeon. HE IS VERY STRONG IN WIS WILL POWER, and carries everything before him. Ie was positive in his statements, and Drs. Hamil- ton and Agnew, while possessing much greater skill in medicine, were practically subdued by Bliss? will.” é “Doctor, is pyemia a common thingin such ed as this one was it is al- But in cases properly managed it should never occur. It 48.50 utterly unnecessary to_happen that it is usually considered a ‘sutticient cause for action for imalpractice. ‘The nature of asc is so well known, and the pre- yentives asily applied that it is consid- ed as aluiost impossible te happen when proper care is éxercised.”” In regard to Dr. Bliss’ connection with the case from first to last, nothing better ean be stated than the words of Dr. Boynton. ‘That gentlemen says that Dr. Bliss was THE CHOICE NEITHER OF THE PRESIDENT : OR HIS WIFE, that_in the presence of himself and Mrs. Garfield the resident, throwing -both arms about his head as though in despair, said emphatically that Dr, Bliss was not his choice, and that he did not. want him con- nected with the case. it is pretty well ascertained that “the phy cian in charge” retained his position hy stating to the Cabinet and others that he was the choice of the President and Mrs. Garfield, and by stating to the President’s near relatives that it was the earnest desire of the Cabinet and others that he remain. In short, he was bound to retain possession of the case, and his will subdued everything and everybody else, and it.seems that thus farno one has had the courage to say very inuch about it, Butlam informed that the true inwarduess is bound to came out sooner or Jater, Gary.

The Subject Referred Back to the Committee to Try Once More. : ‘The Public Library:Board held a special meet- ing yesterday afternoon for the purpose of con- sidering tho. report of the committee on the future library building. Dr. J. B. Walker presided, and there were also present Messrs. Allen, Armstrong, Hynes, Kadlec, Loewenthal, aud Schmidt. The Chairman directed tho attention of the board to the object of the meeting, and said that the project suggested for an appeal to the public: for subscriptions was an unexampled one. Ife thought that the movement, if it should prove a failure, wouid supject the mem- bers of the board to the laspoons of the press. Mr, Allen moved, and Mr. Kadlec seconded the motion, that the report of the committee submitted at the last rexular meeting (and pub- Usbed in Tne TrisuNe last Monday) should be adopted. In support of this motion Mr. Allen stated that be believed the work of building-a Public Libra- ry, {f properly taken hold of, WOULD BE SUCCESSFUT. He did not think the citizens generally would prove remiss when the fact was © pre- sented. to them -that the Library might be burned down any night, and that its treasures could never be replaced. He had been encouraged by the kindly approval of many representative men, and he believed that when the proper time came those men would come forward with more substantial ev- idences of their regard, He thought also that people of moderate means would be happy to contribute to the good cause, and he had yet to learn of any citizen opposed to the movement. Whether it should sueceed or not, he thought’ the Library Board could not be blamed. Mr. Armstrong substantially agree with the Inst speaker, He thought the scheme of genaral tuxation should not come fn until the Library Board bad failed in its efforts—it it were doomed to fail. He felt sure that the press would nid any scheme which looked to the erection of u permanent building for the library, and believed that it would be easy to raise A FUND OF $100,000. FRoM CHICAGO CarI- TALISTS. Mr. Loewenthal said he would buve to vote against the report. fle thought that in view of former failures tho board should go slow and easy. and before appealing to the public should obtain a site for the ouilding and an estimate of its probuble cost. In his belief Dearborn Park otfered the only eligible site, and he beld.that it was possible to get a deed from Congress to that property. “The board had $25,000 on band and would be receiving more, and could thon go before the citizens. ‘The “rdokery” had been talked of as’ a site for the library’ building, but he didn’t believe they conid get it, and if they could it would not be suitable. Mr. Hynes said-he bad nov had time to pre- Pare auy definit plan and thought the “metno- rial” opportunity had passed. He agreed with Mr. Loewenthal that they could get little help from business-tnen : UNLESS THEY HAD SOMETHING SUBSTAN- TIAL To Siluw. Dearborn Park, even if obtainable, mint net ‘be a desirable site, und he wanted to know if it would not be possible to obtain space in tho new City-Hall building. Loewenthal explained that they had tried to ret the upper floors of that building but that they were unsuitable. Mr, Hynes was reudy to codperate with any feasible plan, but thought the committee should look into the “utter and report hereafter. Mr. Kadle sed with Mr. Allen, und thought the bourd si. go nhend. If tney failed they wonld not be blames, Dr. Schmidt said there was no precedent for such an appeal to the people us was contem- plated, and he coutd not see how public sympa- thy in the form of cush was to be elicited. ‘Mr. Atlen repeated that they wantod FIRST OF ALL FUNDS AND THEN A SITE. Jf they fafled in raising the necessary cash, they Would have to goto the Legislature for a Bill to tux the people. He deplored the failure of the memorial project. ‘Mr. Hynes offered a resolution as follows: Wueneas, Tois board, appreciating the very urgent necessity for a commodious and fire proof building for the “Public Library, hereby determine without further delay to take the Recessuryisteps to;secure its erection; therefore, be it Resoltcd, That the report of the Committee on Future Library Buliding be recommitted with instructions to exumine und report: back to the next meeting of this board on the matter of a site for such building. ‘The question was taken on Mr. Hynes’ motion- which took the form of a substitute for the re- Port. It was carried by a vote of 4010. ‘Those Voting for the substitute were Messrs, Arm~ strong, Hynes, Kudtev. and Loewenthal. Mr. Alten Voted against the substitute, and Presi- dent Walker declined to vote... Dr. Schmidt had gone away, and Messrs. Callahan and Rubens Were not present. The meeting then adjourned, LOOM IN THE CITY-NA Some years aro, when Ald. Peursons was a memiber of the City Council, he proposed that the. Hoard of Edueution’ should erect a building: on the porthwest corner of Monroe ana Dearborn streets (the old Post- Ollice Building), for the accommodation of the Public Library.’ ifis plan contemplated a build~ ing for Jibrary “purposes with stores Uclow, and it was fought industriously by certain Aider- men, who claimed, as 8 basis for their opposi- tion, that when the City-Hall was constructed there would te ample room for the Public Library in that building. z ¢ City-Hall is now approaching completion, but there seems to be no reason even t suspect that the library will be given room there. Just why is not appa: rent. ‘The new building is __ fire-proof, aad“ is centrally located. The fourth and fifth stories of the City-Ilull are accessible by means of elevators, and it certainly seems as if it would be better for patrons of the library to ride“up in un elevator, even an indefinit dis- tance, thin to climb the steep etuirs of the pres- sent Library building... The county bas found room in the upper story of its bnildins for the Law Institute, and no complaint has yer been Yers of difliculty in reaching that repository of lesal lore. The city will have inch more space -at its command, and tho greater part of two stories ean readily he granted. for library purposes.
